Dad's Chicken

About This Movie

So, 'Dad's Chicken' is this bizarre little indie comedy from 2003 that really dives into some dark themes. You've got Black Jesus, who's just fed up with life—his dying wife is a constant source of annoyance, and his transsexual son is more obsessed with guns than you'd think possible. The pacing is erratic, which fits the chaotic family dynamics perfectly. There's a rawness to the performances that makes it hard to look away, and the atmosphere is a strange mix of humor and despair. It’s not your typical family comedy; it’s a wild ride through dysfunction that feels both unsettling and oddly relatable. The practical effects are minimal but effective, serving the story rather than overshadowing it.
